Good evening.
Those swallowtail butterflies are also on my side of the world.

Although there is no rainforest in Chongqing, it can get pretty close...

Beautifully done.
Thanks.
nice, how many layers in that piece?
Only two. The top one is the rose and some of its leaves. The bottom layer is actually a two-fer. It is a view out of a window when it was starting to get dark where you can still see a bit outside and reflections from inside.
is that a moth?
It's a Painted Lady Butterfly
the size of it's body threw me off thinking it was a butterfly ...
Depending on how your monitor/browser is set, the image is actually a bit larger than the actual size of the butterfly.
Macro photography is a specialized form of photography that captures extremely close-up images, often using a specialized macro lens to achieve a 1:1 or greater magnification ratio
... uh, huh?
I wouldn’t kid ya’.

I am taking this opportunity to post two of Kavika's best sunset photos - look at them, because he is there.

Lest we forget...
Fair winds and following seas David.
And one from Kavika's second Homeland..in his memory...🥀
What have I not been made aware of regarding KAVIKA?
Kavika passed away this morning...
I am just learning of this and have no words other than to say we were long time friends and that I had the good fortune of having spent a day or two fishing with him and sharing his company, wisdom, decency and generosity.
May he have peace in eternity.
Some years ago, my wife & I had dinner with KAVIKA & Red in their home in Missouri. While visiting, KAVIKA, a (since deceased NT member) Mrs. D & some others toured Dogwood Canyon & visited a museum together.
Eventually I will share some of the photos I took during our visit. One precious memory among others from that time, was KAVIKA, Red, & my wife & I cracking up when I did a Rodney Dangerfield imitation. As hard as I laughed then, at this moment, that sweet memory brings tears.
I love you, David. God bless.
stone hand is now among us here in spirit.
Red and Kavika
thanks amac ...
Thank you for posting those. I'm not embarrassed or ashamed to say that seeing that photo of David and "Red" brought a tear to my eye, and the second image is more than appropriate.
Goodnight all. Stay safe and well.
